This was the 2nd year we went to The Woodlands for their club. Great atmosphere. DJ was good. They have a 2nd bar downstairs for the older crowd, so there is something for all ages. Plan on going back when we go to the poconos area again.

Being a Wilkes-Barre native, I've stayed at this property for many years - most recentkly for a family get together - a surprise birthday party in the Executive Lounge. (A GREAT place for a private party, BTW).

While built in the 1970's but only slightly dated, this resort knows how to treat folks first class all the way: from the friendly front desk staff to the wait staff in the restaurants to the bartender at our private party - every one of the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and took care of our every need. Many of our family members ended up staying over because of a bad snowstorm and no one had any complaints. The creekside rooms are awesome. We look forward to our next visit,

For those interested in visiting the nearby casino, the hotel has a free shuttle for guests and the casino is literally "over the hill" - about 1 mile away. We are saving that for our next visit. While the in-house restrauramts were good, (including a pizza parlor for casual dining), there are several excellent restuarnts within a reasonable distance. This is definately our "go-to" place to stay when in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Room Tip: The creekside rooms are great for couples.

What a wonderful resort this is! Restaurants on site, beautiful views, and wonderfully comfortable rooms. Great value for our money, and the complimentary breakfast overlooking the creek was beautiful.

Room Tip: We had a room on the first floor, because they allow pets. Our dog loved it!

The Woodlands is a "Class Act" I have been going there close to 25 years! Always clean, affordable, great restaurants, bar, etc. Great location! We went to the bar for a pizza and a few cocktails, drinks $5. and the brick oven pizza was great. My wife got a massage at the spa and she said it was great. Looking forward to going back soon.

Room Tip: we had 403 a suite at the bottom of the towers, close to parking and the lobby

We ended up staying here because of a party being held on the property. Good thing too, because the weather was AWFUL..snowy, blowy and cold. We lucked into a parking space right out front (hooRAY) The front desk staff was efficient and very nice. I really liked this place. It's kind of old but updated. (LOVE the woodwork, marble and leaded glass around the front desk area!)

Our room was located in The Tower (7th floor on the elevator, but the room number started with 4) The room was small, but very clean and modern. Not any counter space to speak of in the bathroom, but that's not a big deal as the VERY comfortable bed and down comforter more than made up for it. The in room Keurig is a nice touch.

The only thing I wasn't fond of was the elevator noise in the room, and hearing all the hallway conversations from the folks coming & going from the elevator, but again, it wasn't a major issue.

I LOVED the lounge/restaurant area overlooking the creek & woods. `The party was 'down below' and the glass wall afforded us a fabulous view of the great, cold outdoors. The staff was exceptional too. Both for the party and when we had lunch earlier in the day.

We'll stay here again for sure.

Rooms are small. The breakfast at hotel is expensive. We needed to upgrade our room so we weren't near the nightclub. The view was awesome.

Room was clean as was hotel. Staff was friendly!Nice place... Many things to do.
